i REALLY should post more than just the traumas in my life, but right now the traumas and dramas are my life.
After Barrett's whole ear infection issues, we found out he had Roseola. He got over it, but it was a miserable time.
Jeff had knee surgery three weeks ago and his knee is doing pretty well now.
Two weeks ago Jeff woke up without feeling on the right side of his face and a tingling in his right arm. I thought he had a stroke (is it terrible that my first thought was, "really? great, just what we needed was a stroke.???). Turns out he has Bell's Palsy. It has been painful and frustrating for him. He's on some steroids and some anti-virals, but so far the prognosis could be up to a year before he get feeling back to the right side of his face. He was off work for two weeks, and has attempted a couple of short hours this week. It kills him to stay home all day.
Jeff's Grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and it has been really sad for all of us.
My mom saved me and took Nick & Ryan for the three-day weekend over Valentine's. It was a great break and much needed.
Ryan's school called on Tuesday and asked me to come and get him because he wasn't feeling well. He has just a terrible cold and a stomach ache. That boy also has some serious anxiety issues. Maybe I'll post about his anxieties later.
Nick and Barrett have now joined Ryan in the cold trend and all three are fairly miserable. I'm praying Barrett's won't end up as an ear infection.
Me...I'm sleep deprived, as always, but have only had a lingering cough the last few weeks and am really hoping to avoid the cold going around in our home.
Do you wish you were me? Any advise on my two non-sleeping babies?

Oh, I just wish I lived closer so that I could give you a hug and take a kid or two off your hands!!! I hope things (illnesses) start getting better for you all.
Your couple of weeks have sounded a bit like mine! It can only get better right?
OMG! When it rains it pours doesn't it! I'm so sorry! At least you have a great mom that is there for you right!! Just come down south where the weather is warmer and the kids don't nearly get sick as much. I love your posts though, so keep us updated, no matter how bad or good things get! Love ya Kel
Gosh Kelly I'm sorry for all the trials you have been having, I didn't realize that Jeff had knee surgery, or that his grandma passed away. Chris did tell me about the Bells Palsy. That's scary. Please keep us posted on how things are going. You are in our thoughts and prayers! I heard this great thought the other day at church it's from Mother Teresa . . . "I know God won't give me more than I can handle, I just wish he didn't trust me so much!" Hang in there!
Roseola is no fun--Blake had that. It about broke my heart. I cannot believe Jeff got Bells Palsy--crazy--hope he is doing better and that it goes away quick!!
